The fourth period contains 18 elements beginning with potassium and ending with krypton – one element for each of the eighteen groups. It sees the first appearance of d-block (which includes transition metals) in the table. Do You Agree? Sincerely, Jocelyn E.Flowers
Each row in the table contains elements that have the same number of electron orbit shells. The first orbit, which is closest to the nucleus only has space for 2 electrons (no idea why, sorry). This is why only hydrogen (1 electron) and helium (2 electrons) are in the first row. The second row has the same inner shell, with 2 electrons and an outer shell with room for 8...and so on.

There are two elements in the first period, hydrogen and helium.
There are 2 elements in the first period, 8, 8 elements in 2nd and 3rd periods respectively,
Two elements
alkali metals
The elements H (Hydrogen) and He (Helium) are in the first period, Ge (Germanium) is in the fourth period, Rb (Rubidium) is in the fifth period, and I (Iodine) is in the fifth period.
The first period of the periodic table can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, which are filled in the s orbital. There are no p orbitals in the first period, which is why there are no p-block elements in the first period. The p-orbital becomes available in the second period.
The first element in period three of the periodic table of chemical elements is sodium (Na).
The first period of the periodic table's elements all have 1 energy level.
A period is a row of elements
two elements, hydrogen and helium.
Sometimes but not always.
